LOS ANGELES, CA--(May 23, 2016) - Agritek Holdings, Inc. (OTC PINK: AGTK) (http://www.Agritekholdings.com), a provider of Compassionate Care Technology and agricultural solutions for the recreational cannabis industry, today announced that the Company has filed its 10K last week for the fiscal year ended December 2015 and will be filing its 10 Q by market close today in order to return to fully compliant reporting status.

"The delay in completing our filing process was unforeseen, and mostly due to prior management not providing necessary documents and statements to complete our year end filings. It is my hope that our return to fully reporting SEC status will once again give our longterm shareholders and new investors the confidence in Agritek Holdings as we continue to execute on our business model and prove legitimacy within the agricultural sector to the investment community. Our model of working with licensed cultivators on the lease of land, green house and agricultural supply side with direct manufacturer relationships along with supplying innovative products for our industry will soon prove to be the most sound and most sustainable model in this sector," stated B. Michael Friedman, CEO for Agritek Holdings Inc.

"I will be conducting a full length CEO audio interview this week which will provide an update to our shareholders and investors and explain the roll out of new product lines and additions to the Agritek board," further stated Friedman.
